About Idle Fishing
Idle Fishing is a deep idle game where you manage an automated fishing crew across 11 themed zones while jumping into skill-based mini-games for bigger catches, with an intricate web of upgrades, pets, prestige layers, and 1200+ achievements that keep the progression loop endlessly rewarding. Between offline earnings, weekly events, excavation hunts, and seagull encounters, there's always something new to discover when you return.
Key Features
- Idle and Active Fishing - crewmates fish automatically while you're away, or jump in with a skill-based mini-game for bigger rewards.
- Offline Progress - earn silver, ascension gold, seagull rewards, and more while the game is closed. Come back to a full haul.
- 1200+ In-Game Achievements - with real stat rewards, not just badges.
- Pets - collect, evolve, and bond with pets that provide powerful passive bonuses. Upgrade star levels and unlock unique abilities.
- Hire Crewmates - recruit crewmates with unique stats and bonus slots that directly multiply your income.
- Ascension & Rebirth - ascend to grow a permanent upgrade tree, then rebirth for a meta-prestige layer with its own shop. The loop goes deep.
- Excavation Mini-Game - dig a tile grid with chisels, shovels, bombs, and scanners to uncover fossils, treasure chests, and timed bonuses in a fully separate economy.
- Seagull Events - catch random seagulls for diverse rewards including currencies, eggs, pet food, temp boosts, and more. Pile up offline, release on return.
- 11 Unique Fishing Zones - from Ocean and Swamp to Moon and Mars, each with its own fish pool across 6 rarities to discover and collect.
- Fishing Contest - weekly challenge mode with skill-based levels. Earn medals, climb packs, and claim legendary rewards.
- Chest Hunt - a risk/reward mini-game where streaks build multipliers and gem savers keep you in the game.
- 31 Buildings - buy and upgrade a full tier of income generators that scale your passive earnings and offline haul.
- Weekly Trader - spend gold on rotating rare currency deals that change every week.
- 52 Weekly Holiday Events - a fresh themed event every week of the year.
- Daily Quests - recurring objectives with chest rewards to keep every session meaningful.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Idle Fishing is a relaxing idle game that players generally enjoy for its engaging progression and responsive developers, with one player investing over 1500 hours to complete it fully. However, the game suffers from poor onboarding, with reviewers criticizing the lack of tutorials, tooltips, and explanations for game mechanics, and some report that a recent excavation feature update negatively impacted their experience. Players seem to find it worthwhile as a casual idle game despite these issues.
After a while, the progress is so slow, it feels like you are standing still over months. Resets do not give you any measurable advantage any more, upgrades too expensive for the little money you get during prestige. Not worth the time, even for an idle game.3 found this helpful
Fun
It seems like every update just makes the game take longer, and its no longer enjoyable. rebirth is a joke now with no real reward for doing so. unless the devs make some changes i will no longer be giving any of my time to this simple idle game.
O jogo basicamente acaba no nível 15 dos melhoramentos. Você pode jogar por 12h seguidas e não irá conseguir comprar nem mesmo 1 nível de melhoramento.
I'll start by saying I didn't purchase any boosts or anything but after my 20 hours I just got stuck. I keep ascending but getting past tier 10 for me is just taking ages. I've tried different pets and strategies and nothing has worked for me. 20 hours is a decent run but I'm moving on and can't recommend.
